Craig Levein is hopeful his injured trio of Uche Ikpeazu, Peter Haring and Arnaud Djoum will be fit in time for the William Hill Scottish Cup final against Celtic.

Haring hasn’t played since the semi-final win over Inverness at Hampden due to a persistent groin problem.

Ikpeazu was forced off early in the second half of the recent 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Tynecastle , while Djoum has been having trouble with his Achilles.

None of them will feature in this Sunday’s final Ladbrokes Premiership game of the season away to Celtic, but Levein is hopeful that the fitness work they’ve been doing will have them ready in time for the big one six days later.
